Polychrome Jar by Juanita Healing [SOLD]

Most of the potters on the Hopi Reservation are originally Tewa Indians from New Mexico pueblos, however, there are a few potters there who are of Hopi origin. Juanita Healing is one.

Juanita Healing and Patricia Honie were sisters from the Hopi village of Sichomovi at First Mesa. Juanita married Dewey Healing, son of Annie Healing Nampeyo, oldest daughter of Nampeyo of Hano.

Juanita was an exceptional artisan, both in constructing a vessel and in decorating it. This jar is a good example of her talents. The firing delivered a beautiful blush to the slip.

The jar is in excellent condition.
